Iranian literature needs translation institutes to be noticed internationally

Author and critic Fathollah Beeniyaz believes that the reason why Iranian literati have failed to win the Nobel Prize is the lack of institutes here to translate their works into foreign languages: IBNA

In an interview with IBNA, he said: “This is what Turkey, China and South Korea have done well in this area. It is often heard that the books selected for translation in many European countries never reached the audience as they were subject to non-literary objections.”
